The C61R2AEE is one of Samsung's popular built-in ceramic hobs. This is a very affordable model. It's a suitable option for any modern kitchen design, and it has a few features and benefits to make your cooking enjoyable and hassle free.

With a width of of 57.5 cm, this appliance is slightly smaller than a standard 60 cm wide hob but quite stylish and highly energy efficient. Unlike models from other brands, which often have knobs or controls that trap dirt and food splatters, this hob can simply be wiped clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth thanks to its sleek, smooth ceramic glass surface and frameless design.

There are four, clearly mapped cooking zones to accommodate various sizes of pans. Using the appropriately sized burner for a pot or pan not only saves energy, it also cooks your dishes more thoroughly, evenly and quickly. This hob features a LED touch control display with which you can simply plus or minus to reach the desired temperature. Lower power levels such as one or two are ideal for warming soups, while higher power levels such as 5 and 6 are ideal for steaming meat and beans, for example.

Safety features include a child lock, which locks the control panel to prevent accidental changes in settings and a residual heat indicator, which lets you know when it's safe to touch the cooking zones. Although some standard hob features such as timer and dual zone are missing, this model is great for users who are in need of a simple, stylish yet functional ceramic hob.
